Building Bridges Across the Battery Ecosystem

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and Argonne National Laboratory hosted a virtual roundtable, Building Bridges Across the Battery Ecosystem, on October 29, 2021 to announce the launch of Li-Bridge, a new public-private partnership to bridge gaps in the domestic lithium battery supply chain.
The roundtable outlined how Li-Bridge will help accelerate the development of a robust and secure domestic supply chain for lithium-based batteries in accordance with the National Blueprint for Lithium Batteries, 2021 - 2030, released earlier this year by the Federal Consortium for Advanced Batteries.
Putting the U.S. on a path to long-term competitiveness in the global battery value chain, the Blueprint outlines five critical goals to creating a domestic lithium-battery supply chain that generates equitable, clean-energy jobs in the U.S., while mitigating climate change. The roundtable featured:
KEYNOTE SPEAKER
David Turk, Deputy Secretary, U.S. Department of Energy
FEATURED SPEAKER
U.S. Senator Dick Durbin
MODERATOR
Paul Kearns, Argonne National Laboratory Director
